I'm impacted by today's layoffs, as is essentially the entire Destiny VFX team, leads and all.

It was a good half decade, Bungie.

Went to DisneyLand today with three Ex-Oculus people.

Learned a lot about design, diegetic script writing, SFX, and robotics.

I strongly recommend anyone in any relevant creative industry to visit a Disney park with an inquisitive eye.

Luca Guadagnino's nearly finished Sam Altman movie, “Artificial,” has been dropped by Amazon MGM Studios.

The film, starring Andrew Garfield as the controversial OpenAI CEO, will be shopped to other studios. The move notably comes after Amazon struck a massive partnership with the tech company in February, which included a $50 billion investment. https://t.co/ebSo7jSLnG

no new Gemini pro yet. He left because they’re toast in the race.

[signüll @signulll]

cold open: google campus. a conference room named “moonshot serenity 4b.” twelve people are in a meeting titled: pre-sync for sync alignment on ai velocity.

sundar sits calmly at the head of the table.

a pm clicks to slide 1 of 187.

“the agenda today is simple,” she says. “how do we move faster while preserving our culture of not doing that?”

everyone nods.

then the door opens.

noam shazeer walks in.

the room goes silent.

noam: “i’m leaving.”

a vp of gemini reliability, brand, trust, latency, policy, and vibe raises a hand.

“leaving… this meeting?”

noam: “google.”

someone gasps. someone else opens a doc titled retention narrative draft final final noam v7.

sundar blinks once.

“noam, we brought you back.”

“for two point seven billion dollars.”

“technically you licensed some technology and reacquired talent.”

“that sentence is why we need legal in the room.”

legal is already there.

cut to: openai.

sam altman stands beside a whiteboard that just says ship.

an engineer walks by carrying a server rack and what appears to be the future.

sam: “we can offer speed, compute, and one meeting.”

noam: “one meeting per week?”

sam: “no. one meeting. total.”

back at google, the emergency retention committee forms instantly. it has 31 members.

a director says, “what if we give him a new title?”

“he already co-leads gemini.”

“distinguished super co-lead?”

“google fellow?”

“he already left google, founded a company, got brought back for billions, then left again. he’s folklore.”

meanwhile, a gemini launch review begins.

pm: “we’re ready to announce the model.”

policy: “can it answer questions?”

eng: “yes.”

policy: “too risky.”

marketing: “can we call it experimental?”

research: “the model is better than the last one.”

brand: “better is aggressive.”

trust & safety: “what about ‘more contextually adjacent to usefulness’?”

a staff engineer whispers, “openai just shipped a model while we were discussing the adjective.”

cut to noam’s exit interview.

hr: “what could google have done better?”

flashback montage:

a chatbot blocked because it might be too good.
a launch delayed because a button was the wrong shade of responsible blue.
a spreadsheet comparing twelve ai product names.
a meeting where someone says “we need a single coherent ai strategy” and three new strategies are created before lunch.

noam: “nothing comes to mind.”

hr: “great. we’ll mark that as positive attrition.”

later, sundar calls him privately.

“google is still google. best researchers. best infrastructure. billions of users.”

“yes.”

“so why leave?”

noam looks out the window.

“because you have everything except permission.”

silence.

sundar, softly: “we can create a permission working group.”

cut to all-hands.

sundar addresses the company.

“noam is leaving. this is not a loss. it is an opportunity to reflect on our operating model.”

chat explodes:

“is this recorded?”
“which gemini?”
“can we ask gemini why people keep leaving?”
“it said ‘insufficient context.’”

a vp steps up.

“to honor noam’s legacy, we’re launching project attention.”

applause.

“it will study whether attention is, in fact, all we need.”

a researcher raises a hand. “didn’t we answer that in 2017?”

“yes. but now we need enterprise readiness.”

final scene: noam arrives at openai. badge works instantly.

receptionist: “yeah, we just made one.”

no pre-read. no doc. just a whiteboard, five people, and a model running somewhere hot enough to toast bread.

sam: “ready?”

noam smiles.

cut back to google. a calendar invite appears:

meeting: reduce meetings task force kickoff
duration: 90 minutes
required attendees: 214

sundar sighs, opens gemini, and types:

“how do we move faster?”

gemini responds:

“have you considered leaving google?”

smash cut to credits.

So like what happens when a model better than fable exists and is open source. Is it contraband?

[Chubby♨️ @kimmonismus]

That sounds very bad for a soon-to-be re-release of Fable 5.

"Trump administration officials tell WIRED that if Anthropic wants to rerelease Fable 5, it will need to ensure the model's guardrails can't be circumvented. Security experts say that can't be done."

If this is true, we probably wont see a Fable 5 re-release any time soon.

One of my favourite tasks was designing the safety signs! I had a lot of freedom and was pushed to go weirder. No regrets.

In my teens I worked at a machine shop, I tried channeling my anxiety and confusion seeing warning labels.
